We rejoice in the assurance that the public sentiment in New York is far too pure and strong to permit such extortion to thrive. " ' A FRIEND TO GREECE.'" Franktbrt Papers of the 22t1 instant, and the Aus trian Observer of the 17th, arrived this morning, but their contents are devoid of political importance. They, however, contain some interesting particulars relative to works of Art and Public Buildings : MUNICH, SIPT. 16, The officers and subalterns who, at their own request, Iwo received leave to go to the East, in order to improve ihein3elves in various brandies of knowledge, lilye already set out on their travels. The Magistrates have published the following notice in the name of his Majesty the King of Bavaria : " The King having become acquainted with the various proofs of fidelity and attachment, as well as of the mani festations of joy and participation shown by the inhabi tants of this capital, on occasion of the double solemnity of his fête and the anniversary of his birth-day, his Ma jesty has been pleased to order, by a Cabinet Rescript of the 7th of this month, that his particular satisfaction on this account should be signified to the Magistrates, 'and that they should be authorised to make it known to the loyal inhabitants of Munich." A Ministerial Rescript of the 12th inst. announces to the Magistrates this testimony of his Majesty's satisfaction, and charges them to take measures to make it public. MUNICH, SEPT. M. Strangers who visit Munich next March will enjoy not only brilliant fetes, but the sight of admirable works of art, because in that month there is to be a fine exhibition in the Royal Academy of all the fine arts. Architecture is that which is most successfully cultivated in Munich; and our capital can boast many edifices of the highest merit.— This year, besides many new private buildings, great pro gress has been made in four very distinguished public edi fices, viz, the Bazaar, the Odeon, the Pinaeotheea, and that called K on i gs b an ( or Royal buildings), the first two being already covered in. The improvements at the Schwabin gen-gate ass far advanced, arid already afford the agreeable prospect of whole rows of new buildings, uniting the Mex asd Schonfeld suburbs with each other, and with the old eitty, so as to form a connected whole, by which the Royal 'palace, which was at the end of the city, at the old Schwabingen-gate, will be more in the centre. The new bridge over the Isar, is also one of the most remarkable architectural improvements of Munich, and is rapidly ad vancing to its completion, and will be opened in the course of the next year. ROME, SEPT. 9. One of the finest monuments of modern architecture has, in consequence, of the misfortunes of the times, suffered extremely from being exposed to all the effects of the ele ments. This monument, equally dear to religion and t o art, is th e f amous l i ttle Temple of Bramante, - which Fer dinand V. tf Austria, King of Spain, caused to be erected in 1500, on the spot where the Prince of the Apostles was crucified. It MS reserved for another Prince of the 1 . 11 9ne imperial house t o secure t h at monument f rom further Inileey, and to restore it to its pristine splendour. Hie Imperial Highness the Archduke Rainier, Prince Archbish o p of Offinutx, Incumbent of the Ch urc h o f S t .

The United States of America, as was f ormerly stated, had appointed, for that purpose Mr. An derson and Mr. Bergeant, The Aniperor of Brasil had also writ a Minister, the Commander, liiancardi, who will speedily arrive in the Isthmus, in addition to the Representatives of those nations who went to take a part in the discussions of the consideration in all that relates to the various points left unsettled the relation between by the Law of Nations, especially respecting R elligerents and Neutrals.

He observes, that perhaps the common enemy may attempt to invade the terri tory of the Republic, but he adds, that they shall find that it was never in a better state of defence, and that " I shall have the pleasure to deliver up the Country to you without a Spanish army, but I cannot answer for tranquillity if the Government should imprudently fire a musket. I have taken upon myself the protection of the people. I have sworn they shall receive no injury so long as I have life to defend them. I will not be the aggressor, but I will vindicate their wrongs as long as they are willing to accom pany me —my foAune, my comforts, and my life are nothing. I do not think of these now, but how to discharge this dangerous trust. He then addresses Bolivar to come and be pilot to this new vessel which now navigates a troubled sea, conduct her safely into harbour, and then allow me, after all my troubles, to retire to live quietly with my friends on the Apure, far from the envy of my rival'', and forgotten by a multitude of ungrateful men, who begin their services when my career is drawing to a close. The Bogota Papers contain animadversions on these letters, and attempt to show the absurdity of hie conduct, as well as the se rious responsibility with which his attempts are surrounded ; and that the Government have no other course but to reduce to obe dience those who have dared to act in defiance of their orders.— These Papers contain a notice of the appointment of Senhor Santos Michelena de Carvacas as Consul-General at London, who will undertake all that belongs to commercial affairs, leaving Mr. Hurtado to attend to those alone which belong to the Legation. Papers from Honduras to the Bth July, inclusive, have been received. A new Paper, named The Honduras Gazette, had commenced publication, by which we hear, that accounts had been received from Guatamala, stating, that political parties were beginning to exercise a most baneful influence among the Ministry. In the Congress the discussions appear more like a trial of strength between the contending parties, than a wish to get through the public business. A motion was brought forward to impeach the President, but it did not meet with support, and was consequently withdrawn. A skirmish had taken place between the troops of the Govern ment and the Militia, in which some lives were lost. This appears to hare cooled the ardour of the partisans fur the present ; but we are decidedly of opinion that it will break out again with re doubled fury.. We received, at a late hour this afternoon, the Etoile, dated yesterday, by express. It confirms, in an article from the Austrian Observer of the 31st of August, the conflagration at Constantinople, said to have been (on the authority of the Gazette Uni verselle), the work of conspirators of the Janissarie who had lately been dismissed. The same Paper adds, but without vouching for the fact, that a report prevailed of a conspiracy having been discovered during the fire, in the new troops, amongst whom a sanguinary commotion had taken place. Accounts had reached Constantinople of the cap ture of Athens, which was taken on the 15th of Au gust, after an obstinate resistance on the part of the garrison, most of whom had been massacred. GOURAS shut himself up in the Acropolis. It was said that IBRAHIM PAcn A had resumed his enterprise against Samos. (From the Jtoile, dated yesterday.) The .Austrian Observer of Aug. 81, contains the following important intelligence:— The solemn procession of yesterday was intended to re-establish, in the Mosque, the Standard of the Prophet, planted nearly three ►months since on the walls of the Seraglio. Unluckily, the festivi ties, of this day, which was expected with so much anxiety, as an indication of full returning tranquillity, have been damped by an unexpected accident. A fire, which burst out accidentally in some baker's shops near the Baghdsche-Kassoussi (the garden gate), spread with such rapidity that all help was for some time useless. A considerable portion of the city, from the port even to the Mosques of the Sultan Amurath and Bajazet, and from the walls of the Seraglio to the sea of Marmora, and comprising many great palaces within its limits, were de stroyed. The Sultan ordered the gates of the Seraglio to be opened as a refuge to those who could save themselves from the flames The Ministers, with the Vizier and Seraskier at their head, have been unremitting in their endeavours to stop the flames. All the troops are under arms, and we are assured that the city is as tranquil as can possibly be expected; but, up to this hour, the flames have not yet been entirely subdued. The Porte has received on the 25th of August, by means of some Tartars from the ramp of Redschid Padia, the news of the capture of Athens, which took place on the bth of August, after an obstinate resistance on the part of the garrison, most of whom have been massacred. Gonna has shut himself up in the Acropolis, which is provisioned for some time. The Porte attaches less importance to this than to the voluntary submission of thirty-two villages of Attica, which have sent Deputies to the Seraskier, and have promised to remain tranquil. The Gazette Universelle says, that letters from Odessa, which mention the fire at Constantinople, add that it was the work of some discontented members of the household (Bostangis), which had been lately reduced. They also state, but without vouching for the fact, that a report prevailed of a conspi racy having been discovered during the fire among the new troops encamped at the Seraglio, the result of which was a dreadful contest. The loss sustained by this fire must be very considerihle, and the Sultan will be obliged to empty his treasury. The Capitan Pasha, after having repaired two of Lin ships, which had sustained great damage, has quitted Mitylene for Samoa. FRZNCII FUNDS, Szm 27.—Five per Cents, 97f. 55c.; Three per Cents, 65f. 85c. It is a very general and plausible error, that the sole remedy for all the extremity of distress the coun try has endured, is a repeal of the taxes ; as if that distress could alone, or even in a great measure, bit traced to the.amount of annual imposts levied on the country. Although it may be admitted that the amount of taxes annually raised in the United King dom, must necessarily in some degree enhance the price of food and provisions, either by direct ' or indirect means; still it is by no means clear, that they enter so materially into the price of every article forming the common necessaries of life, as to make all the difference whether the low rate of wages at present paid, is or is not sufficient to support in decency and credit a workman, his wife, anti an average Family of children. We 'are inclined to think, that the case would not be very materially m eh i al lli l o g t ed is for of taxes th at e b etter, b y t he reduction of the 80 11,einattdeoded i f no' United i f ) a a l i l c :n in tl t t i e le pr s i ieiep:i , g -° " 1, if the effect of such reduction was to otherpresent raised in the 1 1 , commodity , of 1' than a . simp . le , the taxes unattended o by the sum now taxes . upoli it. r with f a corresponding A reduction hi the amount of ' ree . tuction .

This plan of augmenting profits is not confined to the first class of tradesmen in the kingdom ; commencing there it necessarily descended to the second, and naturally at last reached the obscure chandler in an obscure village. To what other cause are we to trace the ex travagance of tradesmen ? from what source is all this immense expenditure derived if not from the augmen tation of profits ? Are we to suppose that retail trade has so far increased as to enable a grocer, a tailor, the great grandson of a g rocer or a ta il or , to figure in his carriage, to associate with the first Lords of the day, to give dinners, routs, and foreign wines, to buy lands and houses for himself, and bijouterie and elegant toys for his wife ; to keep his dogs, hunters, grooms, servants, and an army of retainers? Do their customers reflect, that the splendour of their trades men is paid for by them, and th at thi s display of wealth is obtained by increasing the prices of the commodi ties in whic'i they deal ? Money will procure a fa shionable acquaintance, for Si Fortuna volet, fie* de Anton, consul Si volet hare eadern, flee de consult rhetor. And nothing more is requisite than that Stet eurrus aheneus, alti Quadrijuges in vestibulis, atque ipso fereei liallatore sedens * eurvatuna hostile minntur Eminus et status meditatur prmlia lused. We do not mean to cast any imputation on any dais of tradesmen in the kingdom, or to infer that profits thus augmented were at the time unreason able or improper, but we own we think the profits of the present day are out of all comparison with jus tice, and bear a far nearer affinity to the causes of our evils, than the King's taxes, however weighty they may be. On the poorer classes of society these large profits of tradesmen press with redoubled force, because they, for the most part, purchase their wants loaded with all the profits of the numberless interme diate hands through which the required article had passed in its passage to those of the con sumer. The smallness of the dealings of the poor consumer, and indeed the very fact, that he is obliged to live from hand to mouth, compel him to resort to the small shopkeeper ; and the smallness of the shopkeeper's dealings compel hint in like man ner to resort to the same larger retail dealer, who for the most part supplies the gentry inhabiting the country in the neighbourhood of his town. Taking it for granted, that this shopkeeper was supplied from first hand after importation, or after the manufacturer, a circumstance highly improbable ; it is easy to see how the first cost of the article is augmented by the profits of the three or four dealers through whom it has . passed to the consumer, and judging front this, the position with which we set out, is fully and completely established. Now, lot us suppose that the article is tea, supplied by a man, keeping what is generally termed a chandler's shop in the country, and that the tea sold was after the rate of six shillings the pound. We will take upon ourselves to affirm, that ,all such tea issued from the stores of the East India Company, duty, freight, and warehouse-room, &c. paid, at 38.6 d. the pound. So that here we have half a crown added to the price of the article, by way of profit, a sum very nearly double the duty paid to the King upon it by the importers. This is the case of an article loaded with the profits of several dealers, let us take another case ; the case of an article coming to the consumer from first hands, the bookseller for instance. Every new book in boards, bought of a bookseller, whether in town or country, may be considered as twice paid for, because it is a rule of the trade, to charge all customers 100 per cent. on the prime cost ; so that if ws pay ten shillings for a work we shall not be very far wrong if we conclude that the book seller, after paying his author, printer, paper dealer, advertising, warebouseroom, &c., puts five shillings of the ten clear profit into his pocket. If the bookseller, of whom the work is bought, is not the publisher, the publisher in that ease gives up 25 per cent, to the actual trader, who is allowed that profit for his pains. It would not be difficult to multiply these eases of exor bitant profits, but enough has been shewn to establish the point with which we set out, and to prove that it is not to the taxes alone that the prevailing distress is altogether attributable. We have already said that it is not our intention to impugn the character of that great, respectable, and valuable body, British tradesmen, but it was due to the Government, the Nation, and more especially to truth, to make this avowal of our sentiments as to any effect that a partial reduction of the taxes can produce, and to point out the extrava gance of tradesmen, as undoubtedly being a feature, and not a small one, in the cause of our present dis tresses. Let it not be supposed that we set our faces against any reduction of taxes, or that we are at all unconscious of their weight. Far from it, we are fully and truly sensible of their pernicious operation on the best interests of the country, hut such evil, in compa rison to the misery that must undoubtedly ensue, by want of faith with the public creditor, is as a drop in the ocean, and unworthy of consideration. One word more, and we have done. Let tradesmen of all de grees rest assured that the agriculturist and land owner, will cling to their corn laws and restrictions, so long as they, by aping the manners and customs of their superiors, spend fortunes where their great grandfathers would have saved them. Which may be construed—Holding his whip aloft, as (f ready to strike any little squinting blackguard that dared to laqk vox him. In another column will be found some additional extracts from the East India papers, detailing the operations of the army, under Sir ARCHIBALD . CAMPBELL. We shall, to-morrow, give some further documents, for which we have not room to-day. THE FUNDS.

ELECTION OF A LORD MAYOR. This day, at twelve o'clock, a Common Hall was held for the election of a Lord Mayor. In the morning his Lordship, accom panied by the Aldermen, Sheriffs, and City Officers, went to St. Lawrence's church and heard a sermon. The text was pecu liarly appropriate, it was from Exodus—" Choose you among the people an able man, a man that fears the Lord, a p►ous man." The sermon had, besides, the merit of brevity. The Hall was exceedingly crowded, in anticipation of a con test. Mr. Alderman Brown was the nest on the rota, hut some of the Livery had announced an intention to pass him over, and to send to the Court of Aldermen, for their choice, Aldermen Lucas and Thompson. The cause assigned was the conduct of Alderman Brown during the last election for Members in Parlia ment, pressing forward Alderman Garrett to the prejudice of the Lord Mayot, when the measure could have no other effect than to injure the latter. During the morning the following rhymes were circulated : SCENES IN THE CITY, OR WHO'S TO BE MAYOR ? Ye Liv'ry of London, come up to Guildhall, And see a huge man looking mightily small, No other than he who they said was done Brown, When, somehow or other, a Garrett fell down. You very well know that this Garrett remains, Just where it that tumbled, in spite of his pains; While he, disappointed that so it should be, Slunk into a corner, deprived of his fee. Supposing this matter was long since forgotten, And none would remember the Garrett prov'd rotten, Ile ventures once more to come out of his hole, And asks you to place him at top of the poll. Ye patrons of freedom, now show yourselves men, Nor he in a Garrett so humbugg'd again Come forward this twenty-ninth day of September, And you will rejoice on the ninth of November. For Lucas and Thompson then make a great show, And leave the main prop of the Garrett below ; They will be a credit indeed to your town, Nor sneak in a Garrett, like 'Anthony B •• • • The Lord. Mayor and Aldermen came on the hustings at one o'clock. Brown was received with some hisses, but the applause predominated considerably'. • The Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen retired, to leave the Livery to their election, when, on a show of bands being taken, the majority was greatly in favour of Alderman Brown. When the names of Aldermen Lucas and Thompson were put to the Livery for their choice, there was a general cry of " Next year, next year," and but few hands were held up for either. The Sheriffs declared the choice of the Livery to have fallen on Alder men Brown and Lucas, and went to report the result of the Elec tion to the Court of Aldermen, for them to choose one of the two returned by the Livery. No poll was demanded, and it was now understood that Alder man Brown had, by some explanation, dissipated the intended opposition, Alderman Garrett was, it was announced, ready to come forward on the return of the Lord Mayor and the Court of Aldermen. The Recorder announced that they had chosen Alderman Brown to be the Mayor for the year next ensuing.--,. The return was loudly applauded, and the Lord Mayor elect having been invested with the chain of office, returned thanks in a neat speech. He said his feelings were more than ordinary for the generous manner in which confidence had been reposed in him. Ile ex pressed his gratification at the manner in which► an opposition had been disavowed by sonic and abandoned by others, because it was most grievous to him that one of his fellow-citizens should .think hint undeserving of the office. Ile should look fir assist ance from on high in the performance of the office, and should, he trusted, return the trust unsullied into the hands of his con stituents. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

FASIIIONABLE Sir Henry Halford, Simpson, visit e d th e D u k tki yea._ residence of the Duke of Rutland in Arlington-street. His Royal Highness transacted official business with his Military Secretary, and also with Sir Henry Torrens, Adjutant-General. The Duke of Sussex visited the new building erecting at the British Museum, from the design of Mr. Smirke, the architect, in which it is understood the magnificent library, presented by the King to the Museum, will be arranged. Despatches were received at the Foreign Office yesterday, from Mr. Secretary Canning, at Paris. The Duke of Rutland, by the special invitation of the KING, was to have dined at the Cottage on Wed nesday last ; but, owing to the pressing entreaty of the Duke of York, his Grace sent an apology. It is supposed that this circumstance brought the KING to town. We understand his Royal Highness the Duke of York has at length definitively arranged with Mini sters respecting his new Palace. Government have agreed to pay every expenee connected with the building, and to repay to his Royal Highness the money he has already advanced towards it. An ade quate remuneration is likewise to be given to the Royal Duke for the value of the lease, and in future it will be the property of the Crown, and become the residence of the Heir Apparent.—Morn. Chronicle. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S, SEPT. 28. Every thing was very dull yesterday, and very few present.— Little was done in the way of settling, though many seemed pre pared to receive. Some idea may, be formed of the large sums re maining unpaid from the fact of one great batting man having re ceived only 2,b00/. on Monday, out of a balance left from his Doncaster settling of 28,0001. The betting was u follows : Grand Duke Michael Stakes (Newmarket), next week. Even betting, and 5 to 4 on the field, eget Problem. 3 to 1 agst Brother to Cedric. 8 to I agst Butterfly. Newmarket St. Leger Stakes (next week). The Duke of Grafton's lot is so strong (6 in number) in this Stakes, that few bets have been made. It is difficult to quote odds, but we should think that at the lowest, they must be two to one on his Grace against the field 6to I against Pinwira was taken. 15 to 1 agst Tattler.
